Default Question of the Day

Behind the drivers quarter panel is a black box. looks like its part of the fuel system, well atleast there are some lines running to it from that area. Whats does it do and does it need to stay?

Picture of said box? I don't recall anything like what you're describing on my 01 car, maybe a 98 only thing since they had the metal gas tank?

I think its just some type of breather for the gas tank. If you take it off you will get a wiff of fuel every now and then.

Aye you talking about the charcoal canister? If so it is there to keep your car from smelling like gas.

Yes, that's the charcoal canister and it can go. It's only located there on the 98s with the metal tank. On the plastic tank cars it is located on top on the tank at the front.
